Intellectual property — no unauthorized copyrighted images, fonts, music, or trademarks

Apple guideline 5.2 and Google Play's Intellectual Property policy treat IP violations as grounds for immediate removal — not just rejection. Fonts downloaded from DaFont are frequently personal-use only; stock photos from Freepik often require a paid commercial license; sports team logos and entertainment character art almost always require a specific licensing agreement. Beyond store policy, bundling unlicensed commercial assets is a legal liability: the SPDX license compliance framework exists precisely because IP owners actively monitor app stores and issue takedowns. An app can ship, rank, and accumulate users, then be removed and sued without warning.

Audit every file in assets/, ios/*/Images.xcassets/, android/*/res/drawable*/, and assets/fonts/ and confirm each has a license explicitly covering commercial app embedding.

Safe font sources:

• Google Fonts (all SIL OFL licensed)
• assets/fonts/InterVariable.ttf sourced from rsms.me/inter (OFL)

Safe image sources: Unsplash (free with attribution), Pexels (free), or licensed stock with a commercial application license.
